The PBY-5A was the first version of this famous aircraft equipped with with landing gear, which made it a true amphibian plane. Painted black and armed with bombs and radar, the PBY-5A was used effectively against ships.

Very nice kit from Academy. Being a 1/72 scale, it actually is quite big!! Went together very well and a fun kit to build!! Really don't have anything bad to say about this model. Would recommend it to a pretty good skilled modeler though if you want it to come out nice! Great price!
